Reader question: How’s The State Room for banquets?

Do you have a review of the State Room or heard of any experience’s there? My son and his Fiance are looking for places for their wedding reception how would the State Room rate?

Sorry, I know The State Room — the ballroom of the former DeWitt Clinton hotel at State and Eagle streets in Albany — only in its other guise, as home to The Comedy Works. I like watching standup comics there, but I’ve never been to another function in the space, so I can’t offer an opinion. Readers?

I went there recently for a seminar. While it’s a pretty site, the food was atrocious. I and a colleague of mine could barely finish our lunches. Not to mention that she had to send back her coffee cup because it still had someone else’s lipstick stains on it. I wouldn’t recommend it for a wedding. There are much better sites.

I agree with MF. Nice location; boring, bland, overcooked food. I’ve never seen salmon so hard and dry. Adding insult to injury, I didn’t even order the salmon. I didn’t send it back because I was afraid the prime rib I had originally ordered would be even worse. These were some tired choices!

I was reading in a recent issue of the Business Review a story about the tenants their leases in that building. Even though there are some long term leases there, I would worry about their being there if your wedding is some time off. I would ask a lot of questions.
